Misika II Cell Chairperson in Nyamwamba Division of Kasese Municipality has decried the limited access to social services and improved infrastructure, saying they hinder the development of the area.
Mr. Willington Bwambale says that the area has remained underdeveloped even when it is accommodating a large population in the urban center.
He complains that they have not accessed safe and clean water for domestic use and farming purposes, arguing that the people in the area trek long distances in search of safe and clean drinking water.
He calls on the government to expedite the process of extending safe and clean water to the area, saying that the residents have largely depended on contaminated water for long, putting them on the risks of acquiring diseases.
Speaking to Messiah Radio, Bwambale also expressed concern over the lack of access to electricity in his community.
According to him, the absence of electricity in the area limits the people from engaging in value addition of the agricultural products including juice processing using the available fruits that they produce in the area.
He, however, urges the community members to support the government in implementing the programs established for the benefit of the people.
